Title: Getting / downloading different speech engines from?
Post by: SteveB69 on December 04, 2015, 01:07:22 AM
I have the Microsoft Server Speech recognition engine in my VC.

I can't find any links to other speech engine downloads.
Problem with the Microsoft one is it doesn't appear to allow dictation. (Unless I am doing something stupid)

Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi SteveB69,


I hope this will help you a bit and make some things clear about speech engines: https://youtu.be/9hVNy20tIBI?t=812 (https://youtu.be/9hVNy20tIBI?t=812)  (the link will point you to 13 min 29 sec in the video in which James talk about the dictation in the SP version)

The Speech Platform 11 can't handle payload dictation. The SP-Version (VoxCommandoSP.exe) is more for non english-speaking users, because there are a lot of different languages available - http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=MS_Speech_Platform (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=MS_Speech_Platform)

For most english-speaking users, the Microsoft Desktop Engine (VoxCommando.exe) is the best option - http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Installation (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Installation)

If you want to use dictation you should use the regular version of VoxCommando Not SP.
